dxpc makes using X over low bandwidth link possible. The basic X protocol transfers lots of redundant information. Client-side, dxpc acts as a proxy X server that handles X requests over the :8 display, and caches states information that does not need to be send. It sends the remaining information to the server-side dxpc, which reconstitutes the full X-protocol for the X server. ssh can achieve some similar results, with less performance, but also fewer concerns about security.
